Color Correct LOG Like a Pro in Premiere (No Conversion LUTs or PLUGINS)

This video is for Premiere Pro How to Color Correct and Colour Grade with NO Conversion LUTS or PLUGINGs. I also made this workflow for Final cut pro and DaVinci Resolve, you can find those here:

Color correcting Canon C200 and EOS R C-Log and Sony A7 S-Log footage is actually much easier than you think. And with a tiny bit of knowledge you will be able to go from this… to this in about 1 min. Today I will show you how without any special plugins or LUTs.
This technique I am using in this video will work in any editor that has color correction controls

In this video we will talk about:
• How to set the exposure and contrast properly for Log Footage
• how to easily white balance with and without a color chart using the waveform.
• How to correct skin tone issues using the vector scope.
• How to check to make sure the skin tone is set to between 40 and 70 IRE and exposed properly.
• How to save the preset to use on all your footage.
• And how you will never have to ask for help again once you practice these steps

Full disclosure, I am not a colorist, for most of my client work I will gladly hire pros to be as precise as possible to grade the footage. However for smaller projects and my own personal work, I learned the steps required to quickly get from Log footage to a base grade without using LUTs or expensive plugins. I am still learning and tweaking as I go, but that's the nature of the creative field, it's always changing and improving.

So this isn't the be all and end all to color correcting C-Log (or any log footage for that matter), there are many ways to do the same thing. But it's a method I have found works really well to rough in a base grade and add some personality to it after.
